The IIT entrance exam results were declared on Monday and there were many happy children from Patna, who managed to clear the test. The sweet taste of success was felt at "Super 30" coaching institute in Patna. Mathmetician Anand Kumar started this institute in 2003 and every year 30 children from economically weak backgrounds are coached here for one of the toughest examination in the world. And all free of charge.The fairytale success of Bihar’s “Super 30” experiment continues, with 76 of its students clearing this year’s IIT-JEE entrance test, results for which were announced on Monday.

While the Ramanujam School of Mathematics’ Super 30 under Anand Kumar has sent all its 30 candidates to IITs, the breakaway Super 30s, run by Additional Director General of Police Abhyanand, has managed to send 48 of 54 students to the premier institutes.

Divided and multiplied, Super 30s show multiple success

Vishwaraj Kumar, the son of a daily wager, who cleared the exam, says: "I worked very hard for this.... I want to work for ISRO in the future."

Founder of Super 30 Anand Kumar says: "From this year, I want to pick up 90 students and work with them, I want to help more and more students."

Until last year Anand Kumar used to run super 30 with Abhayanand, who is the Additional Director General of Police in the state.

This year, they parted ways and the police officer set up another coaching institute. But the good news is, all his students too got through to the IIT.

Vikas Kumar, who too cleared the exam, says: "My father is a peon at the Patna High Court. He has great expectations from me. I am happy I have managed to do well."

ADGP decided to chart his own course and took the experiment to minority students and other districts. All 10 Muslim boys coached by his Rahmani 30 succeeded.

It is a giant leap forward for these students. And perhaps the future of many more such aspirants from the poorer sections of society is in safe hands.
